San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Al Netter arrested for DUI

SANTA CLARA -- Al Netter, an offensive lineman who spent last season on the 49ers' practice squad, got arrested Wednesday in San Jose for allegedly driving under the influence, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

His is at least the fourth such arrest involving a 49ers player since 2010, with the others involving Ray McDonald (June 2010), Aldon Smith (January 2012) and Demarcus Dobbs (November 2012).

"The 49ers are aware of the recent matter involving Al Netter," a 49ers spokesman stated. "We take these issues very seriously, but will reserve comment at this time as this is an ongoing legal matter. The organization will continue to gather the facts and monitor the developments closely."

Netter, a Rohnert Park native, reportedly was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol and had a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit of .08.

A CHP spokesman said no further details of the arrest would be available until Monday.

The 49ers re-signed Netter on Feb. 7 to a reserve/future contract. He joined the club last spring as an undrafted free agent out of Northwestern.

Netter's last post on his Twitter account is from Tuesday, showing a photo of his bowling score in a match with fellow first-year 49ers linemen Joe Looney and Kenny Wiggins.
